You know there's a reason why severe flashes are accompanied with a warning on news reports etc?
Handy BBC article for you How is TV made safe for people with epilepsy?
Not trying to have a go at you, just explaining

Surprised that you can't get video cards with
settings for people with epilepsy.
There's a detector: trace.wisc.edu/peat/, so the code already exists. Seems most sensible would be to stop it on a user-level, rather than by unenforced W3C rules.

That's a brilliant idea
Would be really great to have a browser plugin that did that so I could set parameters for unsafe frequency of flashing images so they don't trigger my bastard cluster headaches

Field of view matters, for epilepsy
that article mentions "20 candelas per square metre". I think small gifs are unlikely to give anyone a fit.
The real reason to avoid spacky images is out of respect for people who get seriously bad photosensitive headaches like Archie and possibly Prodigy69, and yourself.
On the other hand, since you're not actually having a fit, you could always just hide the image (Firefox's imagezoom extension is good for that, or there might be one that does image-specific blocking).
